Critical Kentucky deadlines
"Being able to upload contracts and have Ava read them and extract all the important details and dates is most valuable. It is a big time saver and just having another set of eyes creates a checks and balance system I can rely on and feel confident about."
Kentucky real estate transactions operate under regulations governed by the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC). Understanding these state-specific requirements, particularly the regional contract variations and disclosure obligations, is crucial for real estate professionals managing transactions in the Bluegrass State.
Kentucky does not require attorney involvement for closings, giving you flexibility to work with title companies or attorneys. The state uses regional association forms, with GLAR contracts common in Louisville and Lexington-Bluegrass forms in Central Kentucky.
Kentucky offers a straightforward real estate process with flexible closing options through either title companies or attorneys. The state's regional association forms (GLAR, Lexington-Bluegrass) are well-structured and widely understood. Work with your brokerage to understand which regional forms you'll encounter and master the KREC disclosure requirements for smooth transactions.
Navigate Kentucky's 30-45 days process with precision. Each phase below lists the work it carries and the deadlines that govern it.
Important: Kentucky uses business days for the earnest money deposit deadline (broker has 3 business days from receipt). Inspection periods are typically 10 calendar days. Always verify the specific terms in your regional association contract.
| Milestone | Kentucky deadline |
|---|---|
| Earnest Money Deposit | Broker must deposit earnest money within 3 business days of receipt into trust or escrow account |
| Inspection Period | Standard inspection contingency period is 10 days, though 7 days is also common in competitive markets |
| Post-Inspection Response | 3-5 · Days after report. Buyers have 3-5 days after receiving inspection report to request repairs or negotiate |
| Financing contingency | 30-60 days (negotiable) |
| Final walkthrough | Typically 24-48 hours before closing |
| Transfer tax | $0.50 per $500 of property value, due at closing |
| Closing Timeline | Kentucky closings typically take 30-45 days for financed purchases through title companies or attorneys |

Yes! Ava reads any state's purchase agreement in real time, including Kentucky's Greater Louisville Association of REALTORS (GLAR) Residential Sales Contract and the Lexington-Bluegrass Association's Uniform Contract, with no pre-setup required. She extracts all key details including effective date, earnest money terms, inspection periods, and financing contingencies. Whether you're using Louisville metro forms or Central Kentucky contracts, Ava adapts automatically without relying on pre-programmed templates.
Ava reads the earnest money terms from your Kentucky contract and tracks the broker's deposit deadline. Kentucky regulations require the principal broker to deposit earnest money within 3 business days of receipt. Ava calculates this deadline automatically, creates reminder tasks, and can draft emails to buyers about deposit requirements. She tracks whether funds are held in the broker's trust account or title company escrow.
Yes! Ava tracks the default 10-day inspection period from contract acceptance and monitors your post-inspection response deadline of 3-5 days. She keeps the closing end of the inspection period in front of you and creates tasks for repair requests, price negotiations, or termination decisions. Ava can draft emails to clients explaining inspection findings and coordinating repair negotiations.
Ava tracks disclosure requirements under Kentucky KRS 324.360, including the mandatory Seller's Disclosure of Property Condition (KREC Form 402). She monitors disclosure delivery timing and creates tasks for lead-based paint disclosures on pre-1978 homes.

Yes! Ava helps ensure KREC Form 401B (Buyer) or 401S (Seller) Agency Consent Agreements are completed before entering written brokerage agreements or executing contracts.

Ava understands Kentucky's agency types including Seller's Agent, Buyer's Agent, Limited Dual Agent, Designated Agent, and Transaction Broker.
Ava reads the financing terms from your Kentucky contract and tracks all related deadlines automatically. She monitors the typical 30-60 day financing contingency period (negotiable in the contract) and creates tasks for loan application, appraisal completion, and conditional approval. If financing issues arise, Ava helps coordinate communication between all parties.
Yes! Ava can draft emails to title companies and closing agents with transaction details. She turns vague prompts like 'update title on survey status' into polished emails and sends directly from your Gmail or Outlook with no AI branding.

She tracks the $0.50 per $500 transfer tax requirement.
